#73 - Open vs Explainable AI: *Elon Musk has entered the chat(bot)*
Only 9 days ago, on the 5th November 2023, ‘Grok’ was publicly released prompting us to think *Elon Musk has entered the chat (bot)*.
This seemed like good contender timing, if it wasn’t for Sam Altman and Satya Nadella sharing the stage during OpenAI’s inaugural DevDay just two days later.

In this episode, we unwind the key announcements and what this could mean for the future of humanity.
Send us your reinvented Clippy artwork, preferable with Ben's face DALL-E'd into it!
